Mala & Sir Spyro

Two architects of UK bass step into rare alignment. A godfather of dubstep, Mala helped define the genre in the early 2000s as part of the seminal Digital Mystikz – his duo with Coki – whose coveted records are now prized collectors’ items, trading online for hundreds of dollars. In recent years, Mala has worked tirelessly to preserve and connect low-end histories, from sound system culture to global bass lineages, through his Deep Medi Musik imprint, mixes, and cross-cultural projects. Sir Spyro, meanwhile, stands as one of grime’s most influential producers and DJs: a commanding presence whose dubs, radio shows, and uncompromising performances have shaped generations of MCs and dancefloors. To date, the pair have only gone B2B once before – unannounced, at a Deep Medi label night – making their Dekmantel 2026 appearance an exceptional encounter, where low-end frequencies, sharp transitions, and heavyweight traditions meet at full intensity.
